Supplementary "Ever since Disney released the first look for its 2023 live-action remake of 'The Little Mermaid,' the internet has been sodden with wave after wave of racist critics complaining that Ariel, the completely fictional underwater fish woman, shouldn't be Black. Hashtags like 'notmyariel' are bouncing around social media, and YouTube hid the dislike counter on the official video after it was bombarded with racist comments and more than 1.5 million 'dislikes.' One group of critics went as far as to share a digitally altered version of the teaser that featured a White woman in place of the movie's star Halle Bailey, who they called a 'woke actress.' By now, we know it's not unusual to see racist responses whenever a person of color is cast in a role considered 'traditionally' White. While there are plenty of legitimate reasons to dislike a movie, these critics often hide their discomfort behind other thin arguments, claiming historical or cultural accuracy or, of all things, science. Here are some real arguments people have levied to protest the casting choice. The facts prove they just don't hold water.
